Law Professor Examines SCO Case
An anonymous submitter writes "This law professor from the University of California points out weakness in SCO's legal bluster, and further takes a poke at closed software, for those hungry for more SCO scraps. At the end, he references Slashdot for more info ('itself a demonstration of the power of dispersed individuals working together')."
We've got grounds for a huge lawsuit. It's obvious that in bad faith the University Professor is attempting to slashdot slashdot. He even included a direct link to our homepage. Untold damage!
Sue! Sue! Someone, call SCO!
I assert that my comment is only my opinion, not that of any employer, past, present or future.
It's also their greatest strength.
thank God the internet isn't a human right.
Slashdot User Examines SCO Case

Uhh.. I think SCO sucks, and I think Microsoft sucks.

Now, if only we could breed, we would rule the world! Muh ha ha ha!

Late Night Radio for Geeks!
I have to say I'm gonna root for SCO on all of this from now on, I love cheering for an underdog
Slashdot, the site where everything's made up and the points don't matter
Slashdot refers to him, he refers to Slashdot. HELP!!! I'm stuck in a DOS loop!

Not that Linus', RMS, or ESR didn't have some good points on the technical side, but it is good to see a legal perspective of the case.
It's nice to see a legal perspective on the case, but what I want is to hear how a 7th grader feels about the case.
We've heard everyone elses opinion on it, Little Jimmy deserves to be heard.

Well, there went his credibility...
Sure, the federal government wouldn't let old Brigham retain governership of Utah when it became a state, but wouldn't it by nice if we could install the guy as head of SCO? Even as a man who's been dead for more than a century, he could probably run that ship better than its current leadership.
Not to be too critical, but did it seem that that "lawyer" basically just wrote a book report from previous slashdot stories? I'm NOT a lawyer, but could have come up with that.
And that's really all I'm saying. Thank you Anonymous Coward, you troll quite a bit, but you sometimes are right on the money.

I though slashdot was a 'demonstration of dispersed individuals procrastinating together'.
Who knew I was demonstrating power all this time?

These are the only ones of which the news has come to Harvard,
And there may be many others but they haven't been discar-vard.

"This law professor from the University of California points out weakness in SCO's legal bluster, "..
Talk about shooting fish in a barrel..
We need a new campaign.
:)
How about "Hell no! I won't SCO!"
"In its complaint, SCO claims, in essence, that without its UNIX contracts, IBM was nothing, and without IBM, Linux was nothing. But both of these claims, like SCO's allegations, are dubious."
He worded that entirely too nicely.
